The 'Examination Yuan' () is in charge of validating the qualification of civil servants in the
Republic of China. It is one of the five government branches ("yuans") of the ROC government. As a special branch of government under the
Three Principles of the People, it may (retrospectively) be compared with the
European Personnel Selection Office of the
European Union or the
Office of Personnel Management of the
United States of America. Founded by Chinese nationalists at the beginning of the 20th century, the Examination Yuan is based on the old
Imperial examination system used in China. Its first minister was
Tai Chi-tao.
